property overview

A splendid property on the Italian Riviera with elegantly furnished terraces and gardens.

Located in the heart of Italy’s Riviera, in Santa Margherita Ligure, the Grand Hotel Miramare overlooks the sparkling sapphire waters of the Tigullio Gulf. Owned for seventy years by the Fustinoni family, the hotel has a gleaming white façade painted with trompe l’oeil frescoes reminiscent of the early 1900’s. The elegantly furnished terraces, polished Barracuda Piano Bar and flowering Mediterranean gardens with large saltwater pool create a decidedly old-world vibe. Within walking distance of the boutiques of charming Santa Margherita Ligure and just three miles from gemlike Portofino, the Grand Hotel is a luxe base from which to tour the surrounding sites, such as Italy’s famous cliffside Cinque Terre towns, and for enjoying the exceptional Italian Riviera beaches.
